I've successfully completed training for Aviation Challenge. It was no small feat by any means, just so y'all know. I'm completely exhausted from it... and that could be due to crawling through the woods for 3 hours Friday night and a bunch of water training. BUT it was the best week I've had in a LONG time :)

I'll be honest, I was really missing Space side the first couple days because I already have my buddies there and knew what to do. So learning a new thing, making new friends/coworkers... kinda scary.

I've met a bunch of new people that are here to be counselors this summer. I've been somewhat disconnected from the world. I had a heart attack when they sounded the sirens for the Mach 3 kids that were doing a completely realistic mission. I felt like I was transported back to the 1940s the minute I heard it.

I flew flight sims, attacked enemies, learned land survival... but... here's the best part... I watched Top Gun. Ahhhhhhhhh... granted Tom Cruise was a little more attractive then than he is now.

Needless to say, I'm tired. I pick up my first AC team today which will be mega fun :)

Meet the Author

I'm in my fourth year at Athens State University pursuing my degree in elementary education. I'm in love with black and white photos. I adore pearls- diamonds are nice, but pearls are lovely. Going to Italy is my number one dream. I'm yellow brained, plan accordingly, hate change unless I know I need it, and am falling in love with life's unexpectancies. I'm crazy enough to desire teaching kids and at the same time love to write. I used to think that I want to fast forward 5 years from now but then it occurred to me- what could be in those 5 years that I just wouldn't experience?
